Is anyone searching for the surname HUNT, specifically Solomon HUNT. I am told they were Quaker, but I don't know enough information regarding QUAKER roots in NJ in order to start in any specific county. Michel I am sure this is not a good thing to ask this list, but i cannot find the quaker-roots-list on rootsweb to subscribe to it.

Hello ~ My name is June Zublic, part of the GSNJ team & GCHS [Gloucester Co Historical Society] who are co-sponsors. I'm sorry to get to you late. I've been sick for a bit and just now catching up with my e-mail. I would recommend the BEST WESTERN DEPTFORD INN. It is just a couple blocks around the corner from the Middle School where the conference will be held. GCHS has used the BEST WESTERN conference facilities recently. The management is very helpful, courteous and their accomodations are said to be good. We had not physically looked into the rooms, but other guests said it was very nice. There is a small dining area on-site. I think you would be pleased with it. Thorofare is part of Deptford Twp, with the BEST WESTERN very conveniently off Rt. 295.

I am contacting genealogical, historical, and heritage societies in New Jersey asking for their help in reaching those interested in this surname. We are looking for contacts who are well versed in, have researched or are researching this surname, particularly in the 1800s and before. If you have WEBB researchers or descendants in your society, could you please forward this message to them? If you know a WEBB, could you please forward this to them? We are even interested in copies of current phone book entries with addresses and phone numbers so that we might mail some letters or make phone calls of inquiry. If you have an idea of another way for us to make contacts, I would appreciate that as well. Email me at this email address. Thank you for your kindness, patience and assistance. Anne Webb Nelson

Hi Find a b & b!!! Perhaps I will meet you and we can go together. I hate to miss it, but I am not that young, not that adventurous, and have a hard time driving long distance with a bad back and bum knee. It would take me a loooong time. let me know what you will do. Thorofare is where? Ann Marie bracca@aol.com

I'm in Bergen Co, too! East Rutherford - for me... I might make an overnight of the trip so I don't have to leave quite so early in the morning to get there. I'll have to investigate hotels in the area. I can post what I find to the list - maybe others might be interested in making an overnight trip. Regards, Joan Joan M.

Hi Ann Marie We hope you can join us for the day! The Spring Program on June 11 is being held at West Deptford Middle School in Thorofare NJ. There is more information on the full address and directions (even a link to a map) on our website: www.gsnj.org Program information on all the lectures and speakers is on the website and the actual registration form should be up on the website by Friday or Saturday. (Our wonderful webmaster has been swamped with stuff to add to the website recently and is adding things as quickly as she can...) Regards, Joan Joan M. Lowry, President Genealogical Society of New Jersey mailto:jml-gsnj@earthlink.net website: www.gsnj.org

Hi This sounds like a great program. Send more info, re: place, directions, etc. Ann Marie Miller bracca@aol.com

I'm hoping that someone may be able to help with information or steer me in the right direction. I have a query about a Henri Mershon (other possible spellings: Marchand, Marchant, Merchant, or Marschan). The original request was for information about the Association of the Descendents of Henri (or Henry) Merschon. The only information I was given was that this association was incorporated around 1924 and met in Lawrenceville NJ. Has anyone come across any information about this association or the family name? I did a quick cursory check of my records and come up blank. I will still need to do a more detailed review but I was looking for more bits of info about either the association or family.

Dear Researchers, This is my current brick wall. I am sending this to multiple lists as borders changed and families moved around. I have Solomon H. Marsh JR in Westfield, Essex Co., to Jemimah Dolbier. (1) 1 Solomon Marsh Jr. (1810 - aft 1870) & Jemimah Dolbier (Dolbere, Dolbear) (1816 - ) | (2) 1.1 Alonzo Marsh (1834 - ) | (2) 1.2 John M. Marsh (1837 - ) & Nancy W. Johnson (Mar 1840 - 1921) | (2) 1.3 Almira Marsh (1838 - ) | (2) 1.4 Martin (Morton) Marsh (1843 - ) | (2) 1.5 Joseph (N?) Marsh (1843/1846 - ) | (2) 1.6 Solomon O. H. Marsh (Summer 1847 - ) | (2) 1.7 Rolph Marsh (1849 - ) First of all, does anyone have Dolbiers (I think Jemimah was sister of Jesse who married the following year in the same church)? The rest of the discussion slash question is re: Marsh... (Note: birth dates based on censuses, and the family is consistent 1850-60-70). The 1840 census 1840 Federal Census for NJ (Bridgewater, Somerset, New Jersey, Roll: 259, Page: 146). This family matches up with this Soloman Marsh, head of household. M under 5: 1 M 5-10: 1 M 20-30: 1 F under 5: 1 F 20-30: 1 He is listed as JR in the census to distinguish him from Solomon H. Marsh SR (1790-1872) who m. Fanny Brown (1794-1852) in 1812. He was s/o Solomon H. Marsh (another!) and Violetta Morgan (unverified, see way below), and she was d/o Philip Brown and Ann Harned (probably correct, see The Harneds of North America). Their family was: (1) 1 ? Solomon Hunt Marsh Sr. (5 Jan 1790 - 10 Jul 1872) & Fanny Brown (17 Dec 1794 - 14 Aug 1852) | (2) 1.1 Anna Marsh (1828 - ) | (2) 1.2 Mary Marsh (1831 - ) | (2) 1.3 Sarah Ann Marsh (1838 - ) (Note: birth dates are based on censuses, and compared against the above Solomon H. Marsh). In the 1830 Federal Census for NJ (Perth Amboy, Middlesex, New Jersey, Roll: 83, Page: 171) Soloman H. Marsh M under 5: 1 M 5-10: 2 M 10-15: 1 M 40-50: 1 F under 5: 1 F 30-40: 2 I am pretty sure that Solomon H. Marsh JR is NOT the son of Solomon H. Marsh SR unless SR was married quite young and his wife died. That is unlikely because in the 1830 census, on the same page, two lines below Solomon H. Marsh SR is Joseph Marsh, with the following family. Joseph Marsh M 10-15: 2 M 20-29: 2 M 60-69: 1 F 5-9: 1 F 15-19: 2 F 20-29: 1 F 50-59: 1 This would be the more obvious conclusion. My query is obviously, can anyone help? I sort of think the Solomon H. SR and Joseph were brothers (or at least cousins) but cannot go further back. The person between the two Marsh men in 1830 was Cornelius Harned, 1st cousin to Fanny, Solomon SR's wife. Any wild ideas? I just don't think that Solomon SR was the father of Solomon JR because the date of birth for SR is 1790 and for JR 1810, with a marriage of SR in 1812. Michel Metford-Platt PS, from a previous listing on Marsh, in Essex, I have found the following in the Marsh List Archives (have put the names Solomon Marsh and Joseph Marsh in CAPS): (note: if these two Marshes below are the right family, then their father would be Joseph Marsh, and mother Letitia Marsh (which is her maiden name), Joseph being s/o John Marsh and Catherine Hunt) Can anyone clarify the relationship, if any between the Daniel Marsh, d. 1802, Ralph Marsh, d. 1800, and Benjamin A. Brown, all of Middlesex Co., NJ? For details, the following is extracted from "Gateway to the West, Vol. I, Licking Co., Partition Records 1816-1830". Spelling errors have been retained; note the use of "March" and "Marrah" for "Marsh". The extracts appear to describe four different lawsuits relating to land in Licking Co., OH.
